The Mirador de Las Peñitas is one of the most serene and picturesque spots in Fuerteventura, located within the Betancuria Rural Park. This viewpoint offers a spectacular view of the Las Peñitas Ravine (Barranco), an oasis of palm trees and vegetation that contrasts with the island's characteristic arid landscape.
From the viewpoint, you can gaze upon the small Las Peñitas reservoir, whose emerald-colored waters create a unique scene amidst the rock formations. It is a highly appreciated spot for its tranquility, ideal for photography, hiking, and nature lovers.
The location also has a historical and legendary component, as the Chapel of the Virgen de la Peña, the patron saint of Fuerteventura, is located nearby. The combination of scenery, nature, and spirituality makes the Mirador de Las Peñitas a special stop for those looking to discover the most authentic and peaceful side of the island.
